Creator/{{CLAMP}} is famous for having at LEAST one flavor of Yay in every major work, with lots of implications tossed around but a veritable epidemic of {{Un|Confession}}-Confessions. While this isn't surprising considering the fact that they started out as a {{Doujinshi}} circle (with many of their doujin works focusing on male/male relationships), none of their works can be officially categorized as [[YaoiGenre Boy's Love]].

For {{Official Couple}}s and heavier implications, check out '''[[ShipTease/{{CLAMP}} this page]]'''.

[[folder:''Angelic Layer'']]
* ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' has Kaede and Sai; a few of Tamayo's joking comments to Misaki; Misaki's crush on Ringo.
** Misaki asking Hatoko to be her second had all the weight of a marriage proposal. Considering that Hatoko's all of five, but still...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Clover'']]
* ''Manga/{{Clover}}'' has Gingetsu and Lan, who are awfully close for parole officer and prisoner. For LesYay, there's Suu and Oruha. There's also Barus and Kazuhiko's innuendo-laden dialogue; Barus is especially fond of Kazuhiko, likes to call him his "prince" and [[ALoveToDismember cuddles with his severed hand at night]].
** Any CLAMP artwork depicting Ora with another female character, usually either Suu or ''Tsubasa''[='=]s Sakura, will undoubtedly give off major LesYay vibes.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Kobato.'']]
* ''Manga/{{Kobato}}'' has Ginsei and Ioryogi.
** Who are voiced by none other than Fai and Kurogane's seiyuu, not to put too fine a point on it.
*** The Christmas episode has Ginsei blushing when Ioryogi appears at Genko's place...
** Not to mention other (although less popular) ships, like [[CrackPairing Fujimoto and the debt collector]] and Fujimoto and [[{{Metrosexual}} Takashi Doumoto]] (many fans actually thought the latter was gay, but then the anime made him interested in [[ShipSinking Kobato]]
** There's also {{subtext}} between Sayaka and Chitose and [[{{Twincest}} Chiho and Chise]]. Not to mention Kobato's sadness after hearing about the unnamed woman's divorce... It just seems Kobato will become the next Manga/CardCaptorSakura...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Magic Knight Rayearth'']]
* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' lacks an official gay pairing, but there's definitely something going on between Lantis and Eagle Vision -- [[LoveTriangle nevermind they are both in love with Hikaru]]. Geo Metro might have something for Eagle as well.
** The second season of the anime version has Hikaru and Nova, although it's (mostly) one-sided (Nova takes her love for Hikaru to a [[PsychoLesbian psychotic degree]]).
** Not to mention Presea's attention to Hikaru early on, and Hikaru's practically drooling over Fuu at first.
** Innouva basically being in love with Zagato...
[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Tsubasa -[=RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE=]-'']]
* ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' has several couples that are {{Crossover}}s from other series, in addition to original characters Fay and Kurogane. Over the course of the series, they grow from VitriolicBestBuds into caring and devoted comrades who function as the group's parents and, in true CLAMP fashion, can easily be construed as more than just friends. Some of their interactions, naturally crossing over to Ship Tease, can be '''[[ShipTease/{{CLAMP}} found here]].'''
** Their cameo appearance at the end of ''Manga/XxxHolic'' shows Kurogane and Fai displaying some very familiar and tender body language, including Fai dutifully pouring sake for Kurogane which is usually what a wife does for the husband.
** The Horitsuba spinoff manga is ''bleeding'' with Yay:
*** In the first chapter, [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shiritsu_horitsuba_gakuen/v01/c001/7.html Fai "punishes" Kurogane]] for not doing anything with him for the arts festival by sending in a recording of Kurogane [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0iv-DJO3Ug singing in the bath]], which, if you think about it, suggest that the two are ''at least'' living together in some way.
*** In the second chapter, Syaoron teases Syaoran about how good Sakura's cake is, and [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shiritsu_horitsuba_gakuen/v01/c002/6.html is joined by Yuui]] in watching the EveryoneCanSeeIt OfficialCouple in which Yuui remarks that "Being a twin is a complex thing, isn't it?" and Syaoron responds with "You could say the same." Cut to said twin sneaking around outside with Yuuko dragging along the closest thing he has to a love interest, who's wearing a mistletoe. ''Really, Syaoron.''
*** Then in the ''third chapter'' in which [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/shiritsu_horitsuba_gakuen/v01/c003/4.html Fai sneaks on]] ''another furisode'' (since Kurogane wouldn't let him wear a maid outfit), and this time, Fai has blast wearing it.
*** Then there's the drama cds themselves, which aren't as explicit as the manga, but there's the third episode in which Fai and Kurogane spend an entire episode working together to find "Fai's most important thing," and Kurogane ends up noticing that it was "Fai himself" because they swapped him out for Yuui (the treasure) and the reason he noticed was because he wasn't missing a button he lost at the beginning of the episode. Or the fourth episode, in which they're reading lines from the manga and Kurogane reads Chii's lines and Fai (who was listening in) pipes up with "I didn't know I created Kurogane, from now you can call me daddy, or mommy is okay too!" ''God''
** The aforementioned domesticity is also present in the short sequel, ''Tsubasa World Chronicle''.
*** To elaborate with a few examples, at one point Kurogane very obediently follows an instruction from Fai which confuses Syaoran and Mokona. Fai explains that he and Kurogane made a bet the night before which Kurogane lost, forcing him to grant Fai three favours. After the kids went to bed. With ''no explanation whatsoever'' as to what that bet was. Fandom has agreed it was something naughty.
*** Related to this, Fai's second favour was for Kurogane to stand back while he tries something to judge an enemy's power. He gets very lightly hurt and Kurogane's reaction is immediate and very, ''very'' pissed that there's blood. And it isn't the usual explosive anger either but the quiet anger we know from situations like Tokyo and Celes. Which says a lot.
*** In the final chapter there's a touching family scene between the travelers with Syaoran apologizing and thanking his surrogate parents. Fai just gives him a loose hug but Kurogane goes so far as to loop an arm around Fai to ruffle Syaoran's hair and then ''leaves his arm around Fai for a good few pages''. Which arm is that? The prosthetic. And with CLAMP, that's some symbolism right there.

[[folder:''X/1999'']]
* ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'' also contains strong implications between Kamui and his dark counterpart, and a lesbian relationship between their late mothers.
** In chapter 83, after [[spoiler:killing Kotori]], Fuuma pins Kamui to a wall (by stabbing him through his arms and legs) and puts his face '''really''' close, while murmuring seductively and licking his neck. Oh, and it doesn't help that Kamui is steamily whispering Fuuma's name the entire time.
** Other fan-popular pairings with a good deal of subtext include Subaru and Kamui, and Fuuma and Seishirou (mostly for the symmetry, it seems).
*** This troper would like to point out that [[spoiler:Fuuma]] — Seishirou was teasingly (and gloriously) hinted at when Seishirou [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome defiled the Shibuya 109 building's kekkai with the blood of an innocent, sending it careening into the Shibuya Station, thus breaking both the Shibuya kekkai and the Yamanote kekkai in one fell swoop]], something that the combined efforts of three Dragons of Earth could not achieve, only to watch it burn whilst discussing sampling delicacies from Tokyo's best restaurants before destroying them all.
** There's also quite a bit between [[spoiler:Fuuma]] and Kakyou.
** Satsuki and Yuzuriha have their fair share of LesYay.

[[folder:''[=×××HOLiC=]'']]
* Doumeki and Watanuki in ''Manga/XxxHolic'', though it looks to be more one-sided for Doumeki, considering that Watanuki sees him as TheRival, but the series at times points out [[spoiler:that they are bonded by destiny]]. Some of their interactions can be found '''[[ShipTease/{{CLAMP}} here,]]''' due to that.
* Whenever Watanuki wants to "pay back" any favors Doumeki gives him (such as ''saving his life'' numerous times), he'll cook Doumeki's [[YourFavorite favorite food]] or take requests to cook something [[PickyEater Doumeki]] wants ([[RunningGag most often with Doumeki making some ridiculous request that's impossible]]). Okay, so Doumeki already [[HoYay really really likes Watanuki]], but the cooking definitely seems to make him fall for Watanuki even ''more''. In fact, a lot of [[{{Tsundere}} dere-dere]], [[{{UST}} romantic and cutesy]] moments between them occur with them bantering and arguing about Watanuki's cooking.
** And then, later, Watanuki appears to start acting like a ''very'' typical {{Tsundere}} towards Doumeki - ''especially'' [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v11/c123/4.html here]]... with very obvious romantic connotations.
** Doumeki usually calls Watanuki "you" or "dumbass". When he does start calling Watanuki by his name, he does it without the usual expected honorifics.
** During the Valentine's Day chapter, if you technically looked at the exchange of chocolate, after the whole mixup, Watanuki gave the chocolate to Doumeki. It's true that in the story, this doesn't carry implications, however, this is ''[=×××HOLiC=]'', where everything (including the plot) is subtext and symbolism. If you look at the symbolism of Watanuki giving Doumeki chocolate...
** And then there's chapter 185, where the heartbroken Watanuki reveals that, after [[spoiler:Yuuko disappeared]], he decided to make a pact to [[spoiler:wait for Yuuko forever, never aging, and never being able to leave the shop, until the day she returns to him]]. Doumeki's expression when Watanuki tells him is... [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v16/c185/5.html priceless, to say the least]]. It looks to be a mixture of being punched in the stomach, exasperation, and a general feeling of, "oh shit, you did ''not'' just do that..." much the way an agonized boyfriend would react if his girlfriend told him she was going to remain celibate for the next 500 years or so.
*** In recent chapters of Doumeki and Watanuki staying together at Yuuko's shop [[spoiler:after she disappears]] you could hear the collective {{squee}}ing of fangirls at the sight of them acting like [[strike:husband and wife]] a married couple in a situation that has been the set up to countless Yaoi doujinshi. [[FanNickname Sadistic Lady Mangaka]] indeed, and as of chapter 186 they're just doing it on purpose...
** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v16/c188/8.html This page]]. Watanuki acting annoyed that Doumeki seems to be spending all his free time coming to see him, only for Mokona to point out that Doumeki is doing it because he's worried about him and want to make sure Watanuki isn't hurt... in heart, or in ''body''. It appears that [[ShipperOnDeck even Monoka trying to push Watanuki into realizing Doumeki's feelings for him]]. And the fact that when Monoka told Watanuki that Doumeki was worried about him, Watanuki actually smiled and looked touched.
** Recent chapters have Doumeki and Watanuki alone in a bedroom, with Watanuki sprawled out on the floor wearing a loose kimono, discussing about the mating habits of cats, and what it needs for the ideal mate and love. Doumeki seems ''especially'' keen on the subject, giving Watanuki meaningful glances while talking about [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/XXXHolicWTH.jpg "intercourse"]] and [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v16/c189/11.html the one it "longs for."]] Oh, and did we mention that Watanuki has frequently been portrayed as being cat-like, constantly having illustrations of him with [[HyperspaceEars cat ears]] and tail, with slitty pupils? They were also drinking wine and such.... and Doumeki even filled Watanuki's wine glass for him without receiving any glares or nasty remarks in return...
** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v17/c197/6.html Chapter l97]]. Watanuki says Doumeki doesn't really need to stay at the shop since he was only supposed to be running an errand for Watanuki. Doumeki glances away and says he'll leave when he wants to. In response Watanuki almost playfully blows smoke at him. On the [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v17/c197/7.html next page]] we get two panels of just Doumeki and Watanuki staring intensely at each other. Though the tension is broken on the next page, it looks like [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v17/c197/8.html Watanuki was hoping for a different response...]]
** At the [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v17/c204/2.html beginning of Chapter 204]], Watanuki presents to Doumeki a ring specifically for his birthday present. It's a purification tool meant to be worn on the INDEX finger, but Doumeki puts it on the on the wrong finger: The ring finger!
** There's subtext not only between Doumeki and Watanuki, but also between Watanuki and Haruka, who he is much more willing to admit fondness for.
*** In the later chapters, Haruka sings the lyrics to the song Watanuki is playing. He says, [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v17/c202/17.html "I am in love with you, and there is nothing I can do."]]
** At the end of chapter 208, when Watanuki talks about chrysanthemum sake cleansing evil and keeping one in good health, Doumeki insists that Watanuki drink some chrysanthemums sake as well and Watanuki agrees with a smile.
** Judging by the hints given in Rou ten years or so have gone by, Himawari is married and only visits the store once a year, while Doumeki and Watanuki spend almost every afternoon together. Doumeki goes out to work, brings the groceries, Watanuki cooks and serves the food, then they talk about anything while Watanuki bends around the floor with his clothes almost falling off. Their relationship seems to have almost completely become that of a married couple.
** The latest chapters have become increasingly homoerotic, mainly the latest one, in which after granting a ghost woman the wish of being reunited with her long lost lover, Watanuki recieved an umbrella as payement and; while explaining to Doumeki that finding a beautiful woman under an umbrella is an amazing discovery for any man, he walks femininely under said object and winks at his friend.
** Of course, when the series ended it is revealed that [[spoiler: Doumeki and Watanuki NEVER HAPPENED. In fact, as revealed in the last OAD, Doumeki revealed that he married Kohane. Then in the last chapter, Doumeki died one hundred years later, and Doumeki's grandson ends up watching after Watanuki. To top it all off, we find that Watanuki can leave the shop after living there for one hundred years and that he still decides to wait there for the sake of Yuuko.]]
* Yûko (of ''[=×××HOLiC=]'') simply cannot keep her hands off her female clients or her assistant's female friends. She's partial to tilting their faces up while she leans down, making for an 'almost-kissing' pose at least once with each woman Yûko sympathizes with.
** In chapter 4 (the one with the client who can't stop lying), [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/xxxholic/v01/c004/13.html Yûko touches both the women's lips and her chest]] while asking about her bad habits...

[[folder:Other CLAMP series]]
* ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'', which takes {{fanservice}} as far as possible without disrupting the plot, has a lot of {{Twincest}}uous LesYay vibes.
* ''Manga/DrugAndDrop'':
** Kazahaya and Rikuou, and the whole BoardingSchool arc.
** In one arc Kazahaya and Rikuou end up at Yuko’s shop, ''sleeping in the same bed''. Rikuou wakes up first and speaks to Watanuki, the latter who starts stroking Kazahaya’s hair while Kazahaya was still unconscious. Rikuou then grabbed Watanuki’s hand and jerked it away from Kazahaya. Watanuki responds with a suspiciously knowing smile and simply raising his hands to show that he’s harmless.
** [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Kazahaya]] receives much HoYay from Saiga and Kakei as well. Kakei once comments that Rikuo looks "elegant" dressed up in a robe.
* ''Manga/CLAMPSchoolDetectives'' has Nokoru and Suoh. Suoh was paired up with a girl half his age, but the manga paid ignorably little attention to this compared to the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback flashback episode]] showing how he came to select Nokoru as the "one special person" he would devote the rest of his life to protect.
* ''Manga/Gate7'' has Sakura and Tachibana, who might become their newest pairing. They've already been stated to be [[RedOniBlueOni Yin and Yang]] in the ''first'' chapter. And Sakura has offered to lick Tachibana's wounds...
* ''Anime/BloodCTheLastDark'' has Saya and Mana. Their first meeting is a RescueRomance where Saya saves Mana from an Elder Bairn who abducted her. Later on, they have a bath scene together where Mana [[EatingTheEyeCandy glances shyly at Saya's body]]. After the school infiltration, Mana ends up falling on top of Saya and have a heart-to-heart conversation about their fathers. They also holds hands frequently and just before Saya storms into Fumito's hideout, Mana promised that she will wait for her. [[spoiler:Too bad for Saya when Fumito revealed that the Elder Bairns that took Mana which she slayed at the beginning of the movie was actually Mana's father. At the end, Saya didn't return to Mana as she doesn't want her to find out what had happened to her dad]].
